Waylon Sr's name?

Waylon Smithers Sr.'s name, like his son's, is an anagram (Wants him sorely). Am I correct in this? If so, why did they use the same anagram? Maybe... just maybe... hmm. ~Contains —Preceding unsigned comment added by ContainsSmitherses (talkcontribs) 14:54, May 6, 2018‎

6+8 characters is 14, as is 5+3+6... the same name amounting to the same anagram holds no special significance IMO. Being a Jr/Sr was probably just to avoid coming up with a unique name for the dad. Subtracting the six letters of Waylon from WANTS HIM SORELY leaves you with these eight: TS HIM SRE so what other anagrams could be made by substituting a different forename? talk2ty
